Can AI artists release on Spotify?

They can, and thousands do. Spotify's position is that generated music is allowed but voice clones of named artists and spam uploads are not, and it has removed large numbers of tracks on that basis.

Do virtual artists earn royalties?

The same per-stream economics apply to whoever holds the rights. The distribution and payout mechanics do not care whether a person sang it.

Is the music actually generated?

Varies a lot. Several of these are real musicians behind a virtual identity, which is a decades-old practice that predates any of this technology.
